Scientific Services
Expert and Testing Services for scientific investigation, problem-solving and opportunity development
Our multi-disciplinary team of highly qualified chemists, toxicologists, exposure modellers and environmental scientists are here to support your business through science. We have a wealth of experience in both academia and industry and across a range of sectors. Our comprehensive services are designed to support you in the delivery of your product throughout its lifecycle.
Yordas believes that scientific services should be an integral aspect of any business’ product management.
Our services are not only tailored to your issues and concerns, but always underpinned by an approach that ensures our methods and results are relevant, cost-effective, and meaningful for you. Our expertise allows us to be responsive to client and market concerns and requirements: from the circular economy and sustainability to the rise in interest in nanomaterials, or the increasing use of external subject matter expert advisors.
How Can We Help?
Our services cover a broad range of independent testing capabilities, including chemical and physico-chemical analysis and (eco)toxicological testing. We also specialise in providing alternatives to testing and our expert assessments have been used successfully to fulfill regulatory requirements. Our expert services include techno-regulatory management and consultation, exposure modelling and risk assessments, as well as scientific troubleshooting and technical and methodological mapping and strategy.

Our established range of data acquisition and management services is used to provide data to enable effective chemical management. Typically this is driven by regulatory requirements such as those of REACH, CLP and OSPAR.
-
Our designated experts can provide opinions based on an assessment of scientific evidence and/or specialist knowledge. Areas of particular interest include third-party validation on product claims, testing protocol and end-point studies.
-
The systematic review process can be used to improve the transparency and scientific robustness associated with the retrieval, collation and appraisal of published data. Our (eco)toxicologists and chemists are able to offer comprehensive systematic review services to support regulators, governments or industry.
-
Chemical risk assessment is a vital process that any entity wishing to use chemicals safely should undertake. It requires the exploration of both hazards and exposure. Our team of experienced chemists, (eco)toxicologists, and exposure modellers are adept at designing strategies aimed at fully characterising the risk.
